To the extent that our experience of suffering reminds us of what everyone else also endures, it serves as a powerful inspiration to practice compassion and avoid causing others pain. And to the extent that suffering awakens our empathy and causes us to connect with others, it serves as the basis of compassion and love.
Love this!! There is nothing more to add... easy, but not as easy as it sounds, but very rewarding, and - it works!!! Give it a try
I am in Penticton right now, in the midst of my cross Canada book tour, sitting in a Starbucks and writing my blogs, downloading pictures, and keeping in touch with everyone, doing facebook, etc.
